Magnetic Stabilizer for Jewelry &amp; Accessories

ABSTRACT

An improved method and device for stabilizing jewelry or accessories while on a wearer, which prevents the jewelry items from moving about the wearers body into an unwanted orientation using a rare earth or other magnet that is adhered to your body. The device itself is a sort of adhesive with a type of magnet that adheres to the body in any location to stabilize metal accessories or jewelry items.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is in the field of jewelry and accessories, and is an article of manufacture with a method for maintaining any accessory with a metal clasp or metal part, in the orientation desired by the person wearing it, so the accessory does not move around the wearers body.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

When a piece of jewelry is worn, which includes a clasp or metal object point of connection, it tends to frequently move about the wearers body until it is visible and in an unwanted position on the wearer. This can cause embarrassment to the wearer if they are unaware this is happening to them. For example, if the wearers necklace clasp were to rotate to the front, people will often try to correct the situation by suggesting they move the clasp back into the correct position at the nape of the wearers neck. Thus, the wearer must constantly be alert to the changing of positions of their jewelry items.

Therefore, there is an apparent need for stabilizing jewelry while being worn to prevent the jewelry from moving to the incorrect position on the wearers body.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Applicant is aware of the following U.S. patents concerning stabilizing body jewelry:

U.S. Pat. No. Issue Date Inventor Title U.S. Pat. No. Oct. 31, 2000 Hertelendy Method of Stabilizing 6,138,356 a Necklace U.S Pat. Oct. 23, 2008 Fix Necklace Stabilizer 2008/0256796

Hertelendy teaches the insertion of an oval metal loop between the clasps on the end of the necklace for stabilizing.

Fix teaches an attachment of a pendant on a chain to the clasp of a necklace to help stabilize the necklace from falling down the wearers neck

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In one embodiment of the present invention it provides a rare earth magnetic device which is adhered to the skin at any placement on the body that you want to hold a clasp or metal accessory in place. This happens by the magnet being attracted to the clasp and creating a magnetic bond to immobilize the clasp.

The present invention is particularly useful when you have a metal clasp or fastener on the necklace, bracelet, or metal accessory that adheres to a magnet, this will allow the jewelry to adhere to the magnet rendering the jewelry immobile on the body and stopping the unwanted change of positions.

During normal wear, the adhesive rare earth magnet maintains its position where you place it to inhibit the necklace or accessory from rotating about the wearers neck or body and is also waterproof

The present invention can use a rare earth magnet that can have added health benefits for weight loss, migraines, and pain management when placed on parts the body.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved method of stabilizing any metal clasp/fastener or accessory while on the body, which can aid in helping the clasp/fastener not fall into an inappropriate position on the wearer and then have to be re-oriented during wear.

Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for stabilizing jewelry while on the wearer to prevent unwanted movement about the body by the clasp adhering to the magnet.

One embodiment of the invention is the rare earth magnet that is used can have added health benefits that can aid in weight loss, help migraines, and lower chronic pain.

It is also an object of the invention to provide an almost invisible look when worn on the body to not disrupt the look of the jewelry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The inventor provides a unique method for stabilizing jewelry and accessories in place while they are being worn on the body. This new invention will immobilize any accessory that can be attracted to a magnet by adhering to the body in any position the wearer prefers, The present invention is described in enabling detail in the following examples, which may represent more than one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the present invention adhered with adhesive 34 at the nape of the wearers neck 32 with a magnet 38 encased in a padding or covering of sorts 36.

FIG. 2 shows the embodiment of the adhesive on the wearers neck 32 with a necklace 40 that can be any type of necklace including chain type or beaded type necklace with some sort of fastener or clasp 42 that has metal properties. The invention is initially described with a clasp to adhere to but can be a continuous necklace with metal properties for adhering to the present invention. The magnet 38 will maintain the necklace in the desired orientation that the wearer prefers by inhibiting the necklace from turning about the wearers neck during activity and causing the wearer to re-orient their necklace.

FIG. 3a shows an embodiment of the top view of the magnet 38 in a close-up form and the side view and back side view with nothing around it as a singular magnet. FIG. 3b shows an embodiment of a close-up version of the present invention in top, side, and bottom view. The side view shows a magnet 38 that may be encased by padding or other material 36 with adhesive wrapping 34 to adhere the present invention to the skin. FIG. 3c shows one embodiment of the present invention in sections of the top being the one-sided adhesive having the underneath sticky 34 so it may stick to the skin and the padding or other material 36 with the magnet encased under the additional padding or other material 50 which may create a barrier between the magnet and skin. FIG. 3d shows another embodiment of a close-up version of the present invention with any type of accessory clasp 42 adhered to it magnetically.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention on the heel 30 with nothing attached and FIG. 5 shows the present invention with a fastener type accessory adhered to the magnet to hold the bracelet 54 in place from moving about the ankle.

FIG. 6 is another embodiment of a wrist 44 with the present invention adhered with no attachments to the wrist.
